Explanation & Benefits
Shaykh Muhammad Ibrahim bin Basheer
Benefit: In this hadith, there is mention of eating watermelon and cucumber together with fresh dates. It is narrated from Sayyidah Aisha radi Allahu anha that she said: My mother (Sayyidah Umm Ruman Zainab radi Allahu anha) used to try to make me gain weight so that, after sending me off, she could send me to the service of the Messenger of Allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, but (with any method) this goal was not achieved until I ate cucumber with fresh dates, and then I became plump in a very balanced manner. (Sunan Abi Dawud: 3903. Sunan Ibn Majah: 3324 – This hadith is authentic.)
